Focus and Scope

The Journal of Interdisciplinary Research and Sustainability (JIRS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and integrated solutions for Sustainable Development, Environmental Stewardship, and Green Transition. Recognizing that modern sustainability challenges cannot be solved by a single discipline, JIRS provides a unified platform that connects natural sciences, technology, socio-humanities, law, and education.

The journal aims to publish original research articles, review papers, short communications, and case studies that address environmental and socio-economic challenges through an interdisciplinary lens. All submitted papers must demonstrate a strong alignment with sustainable development goals (SDGs).

JIRS welcomes high-quality manuscripts within the following interconnected thematic pillars:

  • Environmental Chemistry, Materials & Green Technology: Chemical dynamics in natural and polluted environments, pollution remediation, green synthesis, sustainable materials (e.g., biopolymers, separation membranes), waste-to-resource conversion, circular chemistry, and renewable energy technologies.

  • Environmental Law, Policy & Governance: Legal frameworks for environmental protection and natural resource management, climate change legislation, intellectual property rights on green innovations, environmental justice, policy enforcement, and regulatory compliance for sustainable development.

  • Social Humaniora, Economy & Community Sustainability: Socio-cultural dynamics in environmental adaptation, social acceptance of green technology, sustainable economics, community-based resource management, public health impacts, and the social dimensions of energy and ecological transition.

  • Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) & Pedagogy: Educational models, curriculum development, pedagogical strategies, digital learning tools, and public awareness programs aimed at fostering sustainability literacy, environmental ethics, and community capacity-building.
